Bitdefender's SafePay : Safe banking and shopping online


For your daily online cyberbanking and shopping















Some time ago my computer got infected with a virus, a trojan, and I didn't feel like reinstalling windows right away. So, instead I scanned my computer for any viruses or trojans and kept my computer under observation for about ten days. During that time I only used a windows application called Safepay that lets you shop and bank online in a secure and closed environment.

The Bitdefender website claims "Safepay will secure your online banking and e-shopping" , and "it works with any antivirus solution."

Unfortunately I couldn't find enough reliable reviews about it,but  I decided to give it a try anyway. I had already heard about it some months ago and seen a video of how it works.

Once installed, I run it. It turned out to be a web browser that scanned the computer as its first measure of action. After that I was able to start browsing, banking and shopping and when it was time to log in or enter my bank information I felt in security doing it thanks to the virtual keyboard.

All in all, I had the impression my personal information was safe from malware. The browser isn't as fast as Chrome or Firefox, but in my case I did most of my browsing with Chrome and switched to Safepay when it came to paying or banking online.

As my verdict I recommend for your online shopping and banking even if you feel theatened by the presence of malware in your computer.
